5 Broadway Shows That Won’t Hurt Your Bro Cred

So once in a while us bachelors need to wine and dine our lady friends in the city and take them to a Broadway show. Some shows are really not for us, we all know that but there are some shows out there that us guys will enjoy also!

1) American Idiot: If you are a Green Day fan then you will surely enjoy this show. This show is the American Idiot CD with a few additional songs but transformed into a Broadway show. It tells the story of Johnnie and his two friends…I will stop right there. Its a must see show on Broadway right now. Please go see it with an open mind.

2) Rock of Ages: The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asia, between other well-known rock bands. It really is a great show if you love music from the 80′s. At one point during the show the crowd actually started to sing along. It’s a rock opera on Broadway that always brings the house down!

3) Million Dollar Quartet: So recently Adam of Avon Junkies saw this play and I was curious on what it was all about and I checked it out and just wow! Million Dollar Quarter is about the recording session that brought together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. How can you beat that!

4) Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles: A tribute to the Fab Four that uses video and sound projections, Rain follows the Beatles from their first visit to the States till their 1970 breakup. The show features original Beatles songs performed live.

5) Blue Man Group: This play is based around three “main characters” called Blue Men, who appear in black clothing and blue paint over bald caps and play a mixture of percussive instruments. Just get ready for loud music and a rocking good time. Who knows you might even get called to stage to jam with them like my friend Stephanie did!

5 Ways To Make The VMA’s Better

Most of us watched the MTV VMA’s last night. I swear it’s getting worse and worse every year. Come on MTV, you can do better than this.

1) Better Hosts: Could MTV have picked a less funny comedian than Chelsea Handler? Really? Really??… George W. Bush could have provided more “humor”.

2) Better Performers: Who wants to watch Justin Bieber perform again? I can’t stand Justin Bieber, and the Linkin Park performance was horrible. Can we have someone like Green Day perform please?

3) More Awards: THIS IS AN AWARDS SHOW DAMMIT!!! Last night they only gave 7 out of the 14. Did you know that Jay-Z & Alicia Keys won for “Empire State of Mind”? No, because MTV didn’t air the other  7 awards they gave out.

4) Better Commercials: Same commercials over and over. I don’t expect Superbowl commercials, but I do expect something other than reruns of Jersey Shore previews.

5) Better Clothing: I wish Katy Perry would have had a nip slip so we can all satisfy our fantasies.

Check out why Average DAPS Reader: Did Not Watch The VMA’s

Now, let’s give it up for the ASSHOLES!

4 Great Concert Tips

This past weekend I attended two concerts. Something Corporate on Friday night and Green Day on Saturday night. My ears are still ringing from the noise, but it was well worth it. I have learned a lot of things by going to concerts over the years and I believe these tips below will help you in the future.

1) Viewing: If you are going to a venue with no seats, just know that you will have to push your way through the crowd to get to the area you want. Make sure you get there and stay there.

2) Pre-Game: If at all possible, drink in the parking lot. One beer at a venue will cost you about $10, when a 6 pack will cost you about the same. You do the math.

3) Merchandise: Skip it, unless it something you really want. $35 for a Green Day shirt! I think I’ll pass. I know I was at the show,you don’t have to show off that you were at the show. If you want to show off, just show your ticket stub.

4) Security: Some security guards are real hard-asses but some of them are really cool. If you ask nicely, you might be able to get closer to the band than other people. During the Something Corporate show, we were actually on the railing were they were hanging out. It was pretty cool and the guard didn’t care much. Sometimes just ask.
